BONUS Episode – Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 1 Review & Discussion

In this special BONUS episode, we’re bringing you an installment of the mothership show, The Weekly Stuff Podcast, where we’re talking all about Kimetsu no Yaiba, aka Demon Slayer, the most popular anime/manga franchise in Japan right now, and increasingly one of the most discussed around the world. With the record-breaking movie, Mugen Train, making its way to North American theaters next week, we go in-depth with the first season of the anime from Ufotable, based on the first 6 volumes of Koyoharu Gotouge’s best-selling manga. It’s a spectacular 26 episodes, one of the most perfect seasons of Shonen anime imaginable, featuring not just terrific storytelling, characters, and acting, but significant technical breakthroughs and breathtaking filmmaking that feel like they’re pushing the entire medium of anime forward. We thought this topic would be of interest to Gundam listeners, especially since we also touch on the news that Gundam is getting a live-action film from Legendary Pictures and Netflix! Jonathan also tells you all about the exciting things happening on The Weekly Stuff Podcast’s brand new YouTube channel, which you should definitely check out! Enjoy, and come back next week for another bonus episode with our review of Mugen Train!

Om Podcasten

Japanimation Station is an anime podcast where hosts Jonathan Lack and Sean Chapman, creators of Weekly Suit Gundam, create deep dive conversations not just on individual shows, but on complete bodies of work, approaching these shows not just as fans, but with a fresh pair of critical eyes. We get deep into the stories, characters, and aesthetics, but also place the series and their creators into the proper contexts of history, backstory, and behind the scenes details that make these works so special. And, hopefully, we’ll have some fun along the way. Welcome to Japanimation Station.
